HICKIES, Inc. Review
Hickies can be a parents best friend...

Not that kind of hickie! Get your mind out of the gutter...As part of the US Family Guide, I'm reviewing Hickies - No Tie Elastic Shoelaces. I have an 8 and a 6 year old that both have no interest in learning to tie their own shoes. We have attempted many times to go over the easiest ways to do so, without success. So I was quite thrilled to be offered the chance to try out Hickies.

These are no-tie elastic shoelaces. You simply thread them through the holes and fasten. They turn your sneakers or tennis shoes into easy, streamlined, slide on shoes! My kids prefer to slide their shoes on anyhow, even if they are the kind that get tied. This way, I'm not slowed down having to tie them each time we have to go somewhere. They have a great tutorial to walk you through the process in getting started with using them. I like how sturdy they are. My kids wear out their shoelaces painfully quick. Shoelaces come unraveled and don't want to re-thread as they should.

They also loosen over time when your kids keeping sliding their shoes on or off. These things hold their elasticity.

Some good points in their favor:

They work with any shoe that has eyelets.

One size fits all.

Elastic keeps shoes secure and comfortable.

Play will be uninterrupted by pesky retying.

Fun look without knots and bows.

3 levels of adjustable tightness.

Quick and easy to slide on or off and be on your way.
